DOUBLE STANDARD. RACIST MEDIA. period.
You are correct in your statement.
It’s only a hate crime when the right amount of white guilt can be assuaged by subsequent news coverage.
There was a murder that garnered narry a mention in the media. There were actually two murders there. One involved a family of blacks. A group of whites came by and killed that family. It garnered a LOT of national news coverage. A movie was made based on this incident. Around my parts, it’s still mentioned from time to time.
The other murder was just as ghastly as the first one mentioned. Only difference is the family was white and the group of murderers was black. This family had just returned from Sunday services and walked straight into their demise. Unlike the other incident, NO movies were made for this case and no one ever hears about it.
Yes, there IS a double standard when reporting this kind of crime happens. A crime is a crime and if you want to call it a hate crime for one, it has to be called for the other. And yes, these two crimes were hate crimes. However, they happened before the term “hate crime” became vogue. I’m still waiting for the movie based on the second crime I mentioned. It promises to be a loooooooong wait.
